3 Easy Cauliflower Main Dish Recipes (quick craveable meals)

92 Shares

I picked for you 3 quick cauliflower main dishes that will rival any weeknight dinner. These are the types of recipes I think about at 6 am and crave all day. I hope you share my love of them, too!

Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables because it has a hearty and subtly sweet flavor that is so versatile. I nominate it as the meatless Monday ingredient of the year for its amazing ability to be roasted, become rice, or just stand on its own.

Ready to get your cauliflower groove on?

1. Mexican Cauliflower Rice:

First of all, I am officially obsessed with Mexican cauliflower rice. Not only is it quick and easy, it’s really versatile! There’s sweetness from the tomatoes, smokiness from the cumin, citrus-y brightness from the lime, and subtle heat from the jalapeno.

2. Roasted Cauliflower Steaks:

Get ready to not miss the meat! Not only is this quick and easy, it’s almost not even a recipe it’s so simple. Usually my version of a meatless meal is called potato chips LOL! Then my life changed when I had a roasted cauliflower steak. Also it’s so hearty, smokey and so satisfying for dinner.

3. Cauliflower Fried Rice (faster then takeout)

The cauliflower rice is perfect for absorbing all that you add to it and surprisingly does not get mushy. Also it has a light and fresh taste that rice doesn’t give you. You can use this recipe as a base or add lots of proteins like leftover chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
